Every four years, Democrats return and fearmonger, that Republicans and Trump are gonna end Social Security and Medicare It s never happened. In fact, under Obama, I remember my Mother only got a few increases in her monthly check, while the exact opposite was true under Trump. Social Security is gonnaneedtobecleanedup, as are so many other programs that dole out money to people that shouldn t be receiving money in the first place. Non-Americans receiving illegal monies need to be removed. So many people need to be deported, which will alleviate the housing crisis in many Democrat cities especially those sanctuary cities And sanctuary status needs to be tied-in with receiving Federal Funds. If your law enforcement agencies don’t cooperate with ICE in deporting illegals, then no federal funds It s that simple. In 2 CFR 180, a competentpersoninthenew TrumpAdministrationcanbe foundtoprovetheFedscase and debar states for inten- states tionally ignoring their obligations to protect their own citizens by reporting illegals to ICE for deportation.

Everything that Democrats project on Trump is their own doing High supermarket prices which can be solved if the government gets out of the way would come down. How much has your grocery budgetincreased? Transport costs,andregulations,notto mention the purposeful destruction of many food production facilities and foreign investment in farmland that is not being farmed. Of course all those factors are gonna raise food prices. Harris’splantosolve the grocery prices is to put federal controls on ‘price gouging,’ which completely ignores the underlying factorscausingtheproblems.

Some say their egg rolls are off the charts. That their ramen is pho-tastic. Their portion sizes are out of this world. Texas size. It’s a placeyoumightseeananime characterortwohangingout. Where you can walk next door, have a seat, and enjoy what you ordered; while partaking in a beer, and listeningtolivemusic. They have fruity and milky teas, stir-frys, wings, fries, anything and everything that will satisfy your downtown Conroe’s Switch munchies on any night of the week. ‘DragonBowlC’isaholein the wall shop next to The Corner Pub located at the intersection of North Main andSimontonStreets. Butbe forewarned. Becarefulwith the heat, because DB-C may be a hole in the wall, and a tasty one at that. I’d advise youtoworkyourwayupwith the hot stuff. Walk before yourun..
IhadbeenintheTCPtodo a A Sip And A Thought column on their Moscow Mule, weeks ago, and as in most things, word gets around,andbeforeIknowit, I get requests to try things, and this occasion was no different.
DB-C’s manager, Andi, coaxed me in with a Brisket Egg Roll. Say what? Ah m a n whoever c a m e u p withthisegg r o l l deserves a medal I don’t know where to start The c r i s p y wrapper is filled with the savory and moist
b r i s k e t , made especially for Dragon BowlCbyalocalsupplier It comes drizzled with BBQ sauce and your choice of sauce for dipping The Brisket Egg Roll really excites the taste buds, and almost makes you feel giddy for the new taste sensations you are experiencing. It's a true Asian BBQ fusion that deservesyourattention.
I next tried a kid’s size Brisket Bowl, which still looked Texas size to me. I had rice noodles, corn, and beef broth, but you build it the way you want. It had an awesomearoma,andIdolike the heat, but I received the mildspice;butDragonBowl Ccankickituptothesurface ofTheSunlevel. Itwasvery nicely done Inviting. Tasted great. Themeat was tender and was easily handled with the chopsticks and a spoon T h e r i c e noodles melded well with the p e r f e c t l y seasoned broth. Overall, a nice well rounded dish No pun intended. If you're not a big eater, order the smaller size, or split it with someone special. Otherwise, eat to your heart's content with the adult portion bowl that is given,andit’salot. and For dessert I tried a Chocolate Creme Egg Roll, which I likened to a Little Debbie Swiss Roll being wrapped in an egg roll wrapper and fried. Again, genius. Puregenius. Ican’t wait to see what DB-C chefs will come up with in the future. Chocolate Bar Egg Rolls? Granola Bars? Pumpkin
WhenIthinkofRagtime, of course you have to think of Scott Joplin, and I can’t help but think of the 1970’s movie ‘The Sting,’ starring Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Robert Shaw The movie was noted for its use of ragtime music, especially with the melody oftheclassicpianorag‘The Entertainer,’ written by Joplin in 1902. And when I think of Salon, besides the Vietnamese lady who does mynails,IthinkofBenjamin FranklinandMadameAnneLouise Brillon de Jouy, who’s salon helped grease the slow moving wheels of the French government to help Americans in their marchforIndependence.
Madame Brillon was a cultured lady well versed in private social gatherings where exclusive guests discussed art, literature, philosophy politics and music. Ofcoursemusicians were on hand, mostly as an accompaniment to the discussion Ben Franklin was ‘It Guy’in Paris during his diplomatic days, and withouthisbravadoor‘jene sais quoi,’ Our Country might be a completely differentplace. Tobeinvited toasalonwasanhonor,and went a long way to enhancingone’sreputation.
Fast forward several hundred years, and Conroe
Symphony Orchestra President Bill Thompson, has been throwing his own Salon Series for several yearsnow ‘AnAfternoonof Ragtime,’was just the latest eventthispastSaturday,and it was wonderful to see like
minded artists who have a passion for their love of piano, and ragtime. They, along with other rag enthusiastswhoattendedthe salon, truly love the sound, and how it expresses the nature of a simpler time Thompson, a member of the San Antonio Ragtime Society,useshisinfluencein TheAlamo City to bring the artist to Conroe to celebrate thecomposersandmusic.
Ragtimeisamusicalstyle that had its heyday from the late Vic
n
o the Edwardian period The name is derived from the music’s syncopated or "ragged" rhythm. Composers such as Joplin, James Scott and Joseph Lamb dominated and remain populartothisday

in how they started with appreciation and love for ragtime. Some,despitetheir age, only recently started with ragtime, while others still under 35, have played ragtimeforwhatseemsages.
ScottDewar,achapfrom England, and his American wife Belinda, married several years ago, and only recently discovered ragtime. They played a duet, with each taking a side of the keyboard to play Kinda Careless,’a1924ragbyZez Confrey,whichincorporated some Blues, and was a gateway piece to bringing about Jazz. Another duet, Bill Thompson and Alecia Russell, played Charles ‘Luckey’Roberts,‘Porkand Beans.’a quick and complicated rag that can take more than two hands to perform, unless you are Luckey Roberts.
I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon, with 10 different artists playing their favorite pieces from the past 127 years. Whoknewthatflutes couldplayRagtime,butthey can. A group called ‘Flute Rhapsody’ledbyCSOflutist Stephanie Harris played Joplin’s ‘The Sycamore’ to startofftheevent. Andwho knows, Joplin may have written the rag under a Sycamoretree,orsteppedon a few to many spiked ball seeds In any case, his brilliance has left us with a bodyofmusicthatcontinues to entertain audiences over
Itwasgreatto see young artists at the event taking up the ragtime mantra e x p r e s s i n g themselves in the genius of composers who guide their fingers into making great music. Rhys Longmire, has been a longtime student of thepiano,andhisconfidence at the piano will continue to grow The audience loved his ‘Mississippi River Rag,' writtenbyJudyEastWellsin 1995, and despite its recent development, it has the feel of being composed from back in the day Brandon Mathieson, a young man on firstimpression,you’dthink to be a hard-core rocker played Joplin’s ‘Kismet Rag,’ a composition by Joplin and Scott Hayden Mathieson knows the piano, and thoroughly entertained the crowd with the rag, whichhadhishandsjumping allovertheplace,nailingkey after key to perfection. The youngest participant in the salon, Abby Jo Jackson, 11, played several short rags to greatapplause. AJhasbeen playing the piano for years now, and I appreciated her couragetogoupinfrontofa group of strangers, and just start tapping the keys. The ‘Downright Happy Rag,’ was played very well by Jackson, and the future is brightforthisyounggirl.
During the breaks I enjoyed conversing with the players. Getting to know about each one. They had theirownstoriesandhistory
One extraordinary gentleman who plays piano locallyisHaydenBraun.He playedScottJoplin’s‘Maple Leaf Rag,’which is the leaf from the Sycamore tree Braun was born blind and playsbyear buthisremaining senses allow him to concentrate on his mind to key genius Michael Chisholm although still young, has made a career of ragtime, and is in the collecting of its authentic sheet music He played ‘Sycamore Saplin ’ by TheronC.Bennett,ofwhich the sheet music is very rare. Chisholm s play was flawless and masterful, and showed his talent and precisioninhiscraft.
Some old timers to the Rag game were Brooks Christensen, Monty Suffern (an

The story of Solomon makes me wonder If God asked me the same question he asked Solomon, would I say, “Wisdom”? I’m not so sure. Would you? There are many great possibilities out there physical strength, good health, some superpower,andofcourse,there’s money But Solomon chose wisdom,reallythebestthing a king could ask for And because he chose wisdom, Godpromisedhimrichesand honoraswell.
This important choice by Solomon reminds me of something Jesus says in his SermonontheMount:“Seek firstthekingdomofGodand his righteousness, and all
A person can be very smartandhaveagreatdealof knowledge stored in their brain But wisdom is something different Solomon rightly asks for “a discerning heart to distinguishbetweenrightand wrong” (1 Kings 3:9 NIV). Which is more important, knowledge or wisdom? Obviously they are both important,butwhenitcomes tomakingdecisions,I’dhave to say it’s wisdom. And the greatthingaboutwhatJames saysisthatwecanprayforit!
As you pray, ask God for wisdomtodeterminehiswill foryou.
